Some VFX updates

Above is a quick test I made using HitFilm, FXhome’s new super-amazing-does-everything video software. I may be biased.

I made a little tutorial to go with that video:

The lovely thing about making tutorials for HitFilm is how responsive it is – you don’t need to do any massaging of the screen capture to make it watchable. You can simply fire up Camtasia, switch on the H4n and put together the tutorial in real time as you use the software. It’s actually fun to do.

I’m not just working on FXhome-related videos. I’m also piecing together the first It’s A Trap sketch, which is taking a little longer than we’d hoped due to various post technical issues. Most of those have now been resolved so hopefully it’ll see the light of day soon.
